This course is suitable for beginners and intermediate players. Basic knowledge of guitar chords and some experience with strumming will be helpful. If you’ve never played guitar before, we’d suggest checking out our Acoustic Guitarists Start Here course first!
You’ll need an acoustic or electric guitar, a pick, and internet access for the lessons.
We’d encourage you to use a guitar pick, but you are welcome to use your fingers instead. We will not be covering fingerstyle patterns in this course. It’s all based on strumming motions
The instructor will be playing an acoustic the whole time, but you can take this course on either acoustic or electric with no issues.
We’ll first cover strumming eighth notes comfortably. Then, we will go over six strum patterns, all based on eighth notes. You’ll learn how to add some variations to make the strum patterns more exciting and how to fit them into a song.
We will work on one song throughout the course, but the concepts apply to most pop, rock, country, and folk songs.
No, there are no requirements to learn tablature, chord charts, or sheet music.
The main parts of the song use E, G, A, and Asus2. The bridge uses a variation of C and D that are not complicated to play. We cover these chord shapes in the prerequisite videos.
The 10-minute videos will be your practice session. You can always keep practicing after the 10 minutes, but going through the videos will cover your practice commitments.
Yes, you can use our Practice feature to loop or slow down sections after the 10-minute lesson if you want to practice even more.
Our main course page will show which lessons have been started and completed so you can find the current lesson right away.
Don't worry! You can access the lessons at your own pace. It's important to practice regularly, but you can always revisit lessons if you happen to miss one. The lessons are around 10 minutes long, so you can catch back up in no time
We do have a comments area underneath each lesson where you can ask any questions you may have or you can email the instructor directly.
